Lately i've been considering buying a new guitar head to record with because my current one just isn't cutting it. I've been toying around with a Marshall JCM 2000 which has pretty good distortion and superb clean tone and a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier that has excellent distortion and pretty descent clean tone.

hi my name is Shezan. i have a home recording studio here is the list of equipment i have in my studio...

So far I've been using software amp sims like Amplitube, Warp, Thrash, etc. The best results I get when I run a guitar thru my DigiTech RP100 and apply Warp's JC-Clean (RP100 doesn't vave good cab sims) This is the closest I can get to this unique sound of a real miced cabinet.

I've heard that hardware amp sims like POD XT do the job well, do they?
Or, maybe a tube preamp?

Hi

I'm trying to improve our headphone situation. Basically I'm finding that the headphones (DT100's) distort at what I'd call medium volume. We have six pairs of these and they all seem to do it. I'm driving them from a Behringer powerplay headphone amp in mono. I'm wondering if headphones distort at different levels according to how their impedence match the amp.

pulled this question off another board i frequent
anyone have an answer?

Hey all, I am haveing a tough time recording my guitar when I put it into overdrive. I have heard that getting a good sound on a recording is hard with an overdriven guitar but are there any tips/tricks?

I do a lot of metal bands and they tend to want distortion on the vocals for some or all of the tracks. I've tried using plugins like the grungilizer, I've run the track through the Line 6 POD, Sansamp Bass DI and a few other Guitar distortion boxes. For the most part the bands are satisfied, but I'm not happy with the results I've achived at this point.

Howdy,
I'm not sure I've got the right section, so my apologies if I've posted in the wrong place.

Anyway, I've got a question about my DAW not working properly. Lately, upon either playback or recording, about 30 seconds to a minute into it, the sound will start to "break down" and sounds all distorted, until, alas, there's nothing but silence.

Environment:

- ASUS p4b266, 2.0 ghz, with 1gb memory

I began by posting this on Stephen Pauls forum, but as it seem to be heading in this direction I thought I'd garnish some comments...

Although I have noticed distortion in the low end as well?
